SOUTHERN OREGON MINER. Ashland, Oregon Long Trousers Adopted During French Revolution Wartime services of many kinds undertaken by women account for the fact that there are more wear ing trousers today than ever be fore. It was during a period of great national stress that men adopted the fashion of wearing long trou sers. Before the days of the French Revolution well-dressed men fa vored knee breeches, while the poorer people wore blue linen pantaloons. When the French monarchy fell, anyone whose dress suggested that he might be an aristocrat went in danger of his life. Consequently, men of all classes began to wear long trou sers. England did not take kindly to the fashion when it was introduced to that country by the prince re gent. Even the duke of Welling ton was refused admission to a reception in London because he was wearing long trousers. In 1812 Cambridge university de creed that students attending hall I or chapel in long trousers should be considered absent.
